I always thought the way to get around Netscape repeating an image in =
all
the cells of a table (where the background is specified in the table =
tag)
was to nest that table in another table that has just one cell, and =
that
cell is given the background image. I hope I'm being clear.

That works for NN6.

But NN 4.x ends up repeating the image in both of the cells of the =
nested
table. What gives?

You can see the table in question at =
http://www.captura.com/en/poop.html

And here is the code:

<!--Wrap main body table in another table with the background image to
support NN bug-->

<table width=3D"770" cellspacing=3D"0" cellpadding=3D"0" border=3D"0">
<tr><td width=3D"770" valign=3D"top" =
background=3D"/images/text_background.jpg">

<!--Start Main Body Table: Two Columns-->

<table width=3D"770" cellspacing=3D"0" cellpadding=3D"0" border=3D"0">

<td width=3D"101" valign=3D"top">
